ADJOURNED SCHOOL MEETING.

Three Mill Tax Is Laid And An
 Appropriation Made For Another
 School Building Not To Cost over
 twenty Thousand Dollars-NO Ac.
 tiOn Taken R Regarding A New High
 school Building.
 At Loomis' Temple of Music yesterday morning the adjourned annual school meet ing of the New Haven school district was called to order by Chairman Morris. About thirty five people attended. The minutes of the last meeting were read by Clerk Eng- fish and adopted. The clerk then read the following:
 Voted, That the bonds of the treasurer and collector of taxes be 1000 cash, ac- ceptable and satisfactory to the board of education,
 The resolution was passed and Secretary English next read this:
 Voted, That district tax be laid of three mills on the dollar on the polls and rateable estate of the New Haven city school district and on the grand list of 1887, the same to be paid July 1, 1888. This also was unanimously passed and Secretary English again read:
 Voted, That the board of education be and hereby is authorized to borrow on the credit of the district a sum not exceeding twenty thousand dollars for the purchase of u 1Ob duu buO CAOCeAOA Ol a SSAANSA AANASo ~-~ ~ Washington district
 In answer to the chairs call for remarks George Hotchkiss, 2d, asked for information as to whether school house was needed in that place.
 Major H. H. Strong of the board of edu- cation explained regarding the crowded con dition of the school, and said about eighty children were unable to find seats in the school at all He insisted that more room was needed. This satisfied MT. Hotohkiss apparently, for when vote was taken on the resolution it was carried unanimously.
 Professor Brewer arose before a motion to adjourn could be carried and said some steps ought to be taken towards increasing the accommodation at the High school.
 Maier Zunder agreed with Professor Brew er Mr. Zunder said: 'Mr. Chairman, if you want to keep up the High school in creased accommodations must be had. It is question if the two new rooms, recently partitioned off in the hall, can be heated during the coming winter. Something must be done, and done quickly, about the mat ter"
 J. D. Plunkett said: That the High school must have increased accommodations is evident not only to the board of education but to citizens generally. I think this ques- ton should at first come up before the board of education, and when action is taken the board will communicate it to the citizens. Whether we shall patch up the old garment or make new one is an important ques- tion." Prof. Brewer was agreeable that the board should first consider the matter, and the meeting adjourned after session of less than twenty minutes.
